Ok guys.so a while back my uncle new a bit of magic. Parents told me he learned it from either Punjab, or Bangladesh. So basically what he did was set a glass in front of him, read some stuff, and in a few minutes the glass crumbled into pieces!!! I have no clue what he read unfortunately.
And another thing he did was get my moms brother to hold a plate. And within a minute it just started heating up really HOT while he was reading a spell of some sort.
The plate could be some form of elemental magick (using fire to heat the plate) or else some form of energy transfer (i.e. the Serpent Fire from within his body into the plate). I suppose if he was indeed Muslim then he could have used Muslim demonology to summon a jinni or another desert spirit to warm the plate, although you would most likely have noticed a presence if the room if that was the case. As far as the glass goes, it sounds like some form of elemental magick that used earth to dismantle the glass into its original components (sand, etc.) or else a spell of unmaking, which could be extremely dangerous and not necessarily something you should know at all (not trying to sound condescending or anything, just saying that that isn't a power people should have in my opinion). Again, it could be some spirit of the desert he learned to summon, but I'm not entirely sure about that - it seems unlikely that he would've had an entity perform an action on something that close to his family (from what I hear, spirits are treacherous in the extreme given the chance).
